Ozzy Osbourne Cancels Appearance at Mad Monster Party Due to Health Issues
Ozzy Osbourne's health receives a concerning update from Sharon Osbourne, who expresses remorse to fans
In a recent turn of events, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne have cancelled their scheduled appearance at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix, Arizona. This decision was made due to Ozzy's deteriorating health, particularly his ongoing struggles with Parkinson's disease.
Ozzy, who was diagnosed with a mild form of Parkinson's disease in 2003, has been open about his health battles in recent years. In 2020, he spoke publicly about his diagnosis for the first time, following a serious fall at his Los Angeles home in 2019 that dislodged metal rods placed in his spine following a quad bike crash in 2003. Since then, he has undergone multiple surgeries on his back and has experienced a progressive loss of mobility.
The second surgery Ozzy had last year went drastically wrong, leaving him crippled. According to reports, a tumor was found in one of his vertebrae during the surgery, complicating his recovery. As a result, Ozzy's balance has been affected, making it difficult for him to travel or perform live.
Despite these challenges, Ozzy made a final appearance with Black Sabbath on July 5, 2025, just weeks before his death. Sharon provided an update on Ozzy's health and apologized to fans via social media, explaining that medical advice has prevented Ozzy from travelling to the Mad Monster Party.
Anyone with tickets for the meet and greet with Ozzy and Sharon, which cost $666, will receive a refund. Sharon and their daughter, Kelly Osbourne, also decided not to attend the event.
Ozzy has remained resilient in the face of his health challenges, often joking about the impact of Parkinson's on his daily life. He has been quoted as saying, "Every time I scratch my a**e, it's attributed to Parkinson's." However, it is clear that the disease has taken a significant toll on him, particularly in recent months.
Our thoughts are with Ozzy and his family during this difficult time.
